I've filed a bug upstream to track this: http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/issues/detail?id=68
The UF_NODUMP issue is fixed as of libarchive 2.8.0. I've sent a request to the original poster for clarification on the PATH_MAX issue. It's not clear from the original bug report whether HURD: a) Has no limit on the length of a path argument to system calls such as open(), stat(), etc. b) Has some other way to determine that limit. As soon as I get clarification on this issue, it will be quite easy to fix.
